With the holiday season comes so much joy and laughter, and this month was definitely full of funny and sweet moments brought to us by our little girls! Here are some moments that brought smiles (and at times, uncontainable laughter) to our faces!

Mio making alphabet soup — Mio making “alphabet soup” with her fridge magnets

Mio making funny voices, trying to imitate Minnie Mouse:

TGIF for Daddy's girls — Look at Mirei’s ecstatic smile! They are so happy that Daddy’s home from work.

The girls listening to the talking Mother Goose doll sent to them from their grandparents in California:

Pajama Day at preschool because Santa came to visit! — Mio’s preschool had a pajama day, for when Santa came to visit them.Â

Mirei climbed into a cardboard box, we turned it into a makeshift bed… and it did not end well.

Mirei with Ojiichan — Mirei leaning against and hugging her Ojiichan. â™¥ So sweet!

Mio after her last day of school in 2014 — Mio on her last day of school of 2014. She came back with lots of Christmas-themed crafts, along with little treats and gifts from her teachers and classmates!

Mio randomly said this repeatedly one night…

Who is “John”?! We actually don’t know any Johns…?

Mio is excited to try #snocream — Mio is excited to try Snocream! (Taiwanese shaved ice served out of a bus! Love the ice cube seats.)

Multitasking Daddy last night. — A multitasking Daddy!

purple velour tracksuit twinsies — Mio discovered her purple velour tracksuit twinsie at the grocery store!

Mio asleep while grocery shopping — …before she fell asleep in the cart. Narcolepsy strikes again!

Mio reading the library book we had borrowed for Mirei. She still loves baby books, and she’s still my baby. ♥

We hope these silly and heartwarming moments bring you some holiday cheer! Can’t believe it’s already Christmas tomorrow!

Mio’s preschool had a Halloween parade and performance for parents and siblings to come see last Wednesday. All the kids wore their Halloween costumes, and Mio decided to dress up as Minnie Mouse, to mix things up a bit and she declared that her sushi costume was strictly “just for trick-or-treating.” Here are some video and photos I took!
